Andre Villas-Boas was left in no doubt what the Tottenham fans think about his start to life at White Hart Lane after he was TWICE booed down the tunnel.

For the second week in a row, Spurs supporters watched their team throw away three points, and fail to deliver.

Yesterday’s draw leaves new boss Villas-Boas still searching for his first ­Tottenham win and the knives are already out. To complete another miserable day for Villas-Boas, substitute Tom Huddlestone was shown a late red card – but it could have been even worse for the home side.

The only bright point was a debut goal for Moussa ­Dembele, and Villas-Boas must pray his other summer ­recruits settle in quickly to lift some of the early pressure.

Deadline-day signing Hugo Lloris may have to wait for his big chance, however, as 41-year-old goalkeeper Brad Friedel spared Villas-Boas more embarrassment.

Friedel proved there is ­plenty of life in the old dog yet by producing four superb saves that prevented Norwich from leaving White Hart Lane with a shock victory.

He was powerless to stop Robert Snodgrass firing the equaliser for Norwich but ­produced heroics to stop the visitors scoring more.

After just nine minutes, ­Snodgrass chipped in a free-kick from the right that dropped straight on to the head of Russell Martin, but Friedel reacted well to tip the ball on to his crossbar.

And on the stroke of half-time, he made an even better stop. Anthony Pilkington sent over a great cross from which Snodgrass looked certain to open the scoring but Friedel did brilliantly to keep out the winger’s header.

Friedel was at it again just after the hour mark, diving to keep out Pilkington’s angled drive before Snodgrass finally beat him in the 85th minute.

Martin headed the ball down for Grant Holt, who laid it off, and the £3million summer signing from Leeds produced a brilliant finish.

There was still time for ­Norwich to test Friedel again, as Bradley Johnson forced the American into a fine stop in injury-time.

Villas-Boas’s decision to start £15m signing Dembele on the substitutes’ bench backfired, as Spurs created virtually nothing for over an hour.

William Gallas played too many long balls out of defence, while Gareth Bale, Sandro and Jermain Defoe were reduced to hitting long-range pot shots.

Gylfi Sigurdsson went closer with an early effort and Bale and Sandro both tested ­Norwich keeper John Ruddy.

But it was no surprise that Villas-Boas threw on Dembele in place of Sandro for the start of the ­second half. With his first meaningful contribution, Dembele checked back on the edge of the area and produced a ­superb left-foot drive that gave Ruddy no chance.

You could feel the tension lift, but the joy was soon snuffed out by Snodgrass.

And just to rub salt into the wounds, Huddlestone was sent off for a late challenge on Jonny Howson.

At least Villas-Boas got used to being booed at Chelsea.

Norwich boss Chris Hughton was sympathetic.

Hughton said: “When you are at a big club it is always a tough job. Expectations are always higher – and at Spurs ­expectations will always be high.

“It may take him a while, but Andre is a very good manager and I’m sure Spurs will have a good season.”
